suffocate me, strangle me
but fail to extricate you
from inside my head.
i want you out and i want you
to stay drowned deep inside
of my head, in bourbon
and honeyed amber rum
the music’s too loud
and the people louder
why are they so happy
why am i so not
am doing what they’re doing
hugging strangers, laughing
too loudly and too long
leaning into an unknown cleavage
for solace that does not come
i too drown in liquids that stifle
the memory of you.
